Abstract
Declassified satellite photos from the Vietnam War era reveal the lasting impacts of U.S. bombing and herbicide campaigns in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. The research, presented at the American Geophysical Union conference, uses satellite data to pinpoint bomb craters and areas sprayed with herbicides, aiding in the identification of hidden dangers like unexploded ordnance and dioxin hot spots. This information could guide remediation efforts and provide a more accurate account of the historical impacts of war, shedding light on the broader consequences of conflict.
